About the OOP discussion: I'm personally torn between being a fan of OOP and hating it, I certainly don't like the way most people write OOP, even in Object Pascal, with the billion ton boiler plate and the object property setters/getters, but I see it as a very useful code organization tool for so...

Tha fancy thing with FreePascal over all the existing QL Pascal compilers is its support for object-oriented variations of the language Good old Object Orientation, Tony Tebby will be rather cross I imagine! I remember reading in QL Toady, just how much he hated OO. (I think it was QL Toady!) Yes, ...

Tha fancy thing with FreePascal over all the existing QL Pascal compilers is its support for object-oriented variations of the language - so, the first really OO compiler available for the QL - I'm well tempted to give it a spin soon once there is a little spare time.

Nice video, Noel! Unfortunately you hit the very same error on both QLs (one defect RAM chip, which is probably the secondmost common failure). It would probably have been interesting to see a different failure like on the bus transceivers, which are also a pretty common thing to fail. I guess on on...

HI, I have been ooking at the QMON 2 manual, which looks to be nicely written, but there does not seem to be an Exit command to return to S*BASIC. If I do: QMON #2 to have Qmon in Channel 2, how do I exit when finished, or should I use SBASIC? What QMON does when you don't give a job name, is: It w...

Buy three new keyboards for your PC - The QL fits nicely in these boxes

You must admit there isn't much face in your videos. You're hiding your face behind lots of hair

Get well soon, Andrei!

This is what I tend to use: First thing is opening a console channel, then I check for presence of the Pointer Interface - If that's there, resolution and window width can be directly queried from there. Screen dimension and PE version get stored somewhere in the data area (pointed to by a6). When t...

Just checked my QDOS Companion too. My notes for IO_OPEN (Page 39) are as follows: ⋅  D2 may not be preserved on exit. See QL World, December 1986 Page 43. ⋅  A1 is not preserved unless a TRAP #4 was done first!!! It seems I had problems too, some time back. Cheers, Norm. There ...
